Watching the little fox's antics, everyone at the table burst into laughter instantly. Xiaowu's face turned beet - red, and even the always - composed Ryan blushed.
"Haha, Ryan, look at you and Xiaowu. Even the little fox is jealous," Max said, clutching his belly with one hand and slapping the table with the other, laughing his head off.
Let's see if you dare to show off your love and flaunt your affection in front of us from now on. Even the little fox can't stand it. It's so satisfying!
Blake and Oscar looked at Ryan with a half - smile. It was really interesting to see Xiao San embarrassed. After all, they had been hit hard by the couple's sweetness.
Aria and Ava felt a bit jealous too, but they didn't show it as much as the boys. After all, Xiaowu was their good sister. It would be embarrassing to laugh at her.
Aria looked at Xiaowu's sweet smile, thought about her own situation, and sighed softly. Then, she looked at Leo on a whim, but quickly looked away.
"Xiaowu and I are just siblings," Ryan said, feeling his scalp tingle under the intense gaze of so many people, even though he was usually very calm.
"Yeah, yeah, San - ge and I are just siblings," Xiaowu nodded repeatedly. How could these bad guys misunderstand?
"Pfft..." As soon as Xiaowu finished speaking, it was Leo's turn to be stunned. He was drinking a mouthful of Master Kong green tea and suddenly spat it out, spraying Max, who was sitting opposite him, right in the face.
Max, who was sprayed in the face, was dumbfounded. It took him a while to react. He quickly wiped his face and said with a bitter expression, "Brother Wu, what are you doing?"
"Cough... cough, nothing, nothing. I accidentally choked," Leo first gave Max a very apologetic look, and then looked at Ryan and Xiaowu.
"Is it really that exciting?" Max said, his face looking like a bitter gourd. Why was he so unlucky?
Seeing Leo looking over, Xiaowu asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Leo, why are you looking at San - ge and me? Did we say something wrong?"
Hearing Xiaowu's words again and seeing her puzzled expression, Leo was sure that something subtle had changed in the plot.
According to the original story, it was acceptable for Ryan to say that he and Xiaowu were siblings at this time, but Xiaowu definitely wouldn't. Wasn't her heart already tied to Ryan?
But now, looking at Xiaowu, she didn't seem to be lying at all. She was very natural. Could there be some unknown problem between the two of them, causing the butterfly effect?
"Nothing," Leo shook his head. He couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it. It wasn't his business anyway.
"Oh," Xiaowu shook her little head in confusion.
"Okay, okay, everyone, stop chatting. Let's order. I'm starving," Max said, waving his hand when he saw that no one seemed to be ready to order.
"Damn fatty, you're always so troublesome," Blake said, glaring at Max. He was still wondering why Leo had such a big reaction when he heard about the relationship between Xiaowu and Ryan.
However, it really surprised him that Xiaowu and Ryan said they were siblings, and it didn't seem like they were just being shy.
As for Ryan, after hearing Xiaowu nod in agreement, he felt a bit disappointed for some reason.
Xiaowu regarded him as her brother, and he thought he regarded her as his sister too. But when he actually heard her say it, he still felt a bit sad.
He also knew a bit about Xiaowu's situation. Xiaowu said that when she was very young, she met a mysterious brother who saved her life, and she had always kept him in her heart.
"By the way, why isn't Teacher Zhao eating with us?" Ava asked curiously when she saw that Max was about to order but couldn't see Gordon.
Blake explained to Ava and the new students, "We pay for our own expenses when we go out. The dean has a rule that teachers can't take advantage of students."
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder they didn't see Teacher Zhao. That was the reason.
"I really like the clear - cut and straightforward feeling of our academy," Max chimed in after Blake finished speaking.
The academy's rules suited someone like him, who was used to freedom. At least he didn't have to be restricted in many ways. After all, having a teacher around was completely different from not having one. With a teacher around, they couldn't have much fun. It was much more comfortable to be with a group of students.
"Damn fatty, go and order," Blake said impatiently.
"Hehe," Max chuckled when faced with Blake's scolding. He rubbed his chubby hands together and said sheepishly, "Brother Dai, you see, this is the first time we're eating out with the new juniors and seniors. Don't you think...?"
Max didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. Blake was a rich guy, a big shot. What better time to take advantage of him than now?
Blake's face darkened when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Leo said, "Well, I'll treat everyone this time."
After all, he had earned more than two million gold soul coins at the Grand Soul Battle Arena the day before yesterday. Most importantly, Aria had participated in that important match. It was a way to show his gratitude, even though she had also earned some money.
"Damn, Brother Wu, you're a rich guy too!" Max's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Everyone was stunned. No one expected Leo to be so proactive. Even Blake was taken aback, but he still said, "It's the first time we're out. How can we let you treat us?"
Max came to his senses and quickly agreed, "Yeah, Brother Wu, we appreciate your kindness, but Brother Dai is rich. Let him treat us."
Hearing Max's words, Blake almost kicked him out. This damn fatty really wanted him to spend money!
"You don't need to argue. That guy earned more than two million gold soul coins at the Grand Soul Battle Arena the day before yesterday. It's okay to let him treat us," Aria said casually at this moment.
She said this because she was a bit upset about what she saw the night before yesterday. It was just a vent of anger.
Of course, the most important thing was that, for some reason, she didn't like Blake treating them. She didn't want to owe him a favor.
"Thump... Crash..."
As soon as Aria said this, Max, who had already stood up, slipped and fell to the ground with a thud. Oscar, who was propping his head up with one hand, lost his balance and hit his head on the table.
Even Ava, the little princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, couldn't help it. She quickly turned her head and spat out a mouthful of tea, which happened to spray on Max, who was lying on the ground.
As for Xiaowu, she was counting the numbers one by one with her fingers, trying to figure out how much two million gold soul coins were.
Even Ryan looked at Leo with a shocked expression. He had been thinking about ways to make money for a long time because he needed a large amount of funds to make those Tang Sect hidden weapons.
Blake, the recognized rich guy, was also staring blankly at Leo at this moment. Even though he was the third prince of the Xing Luo Empire, two million gold soul coins was still a huge sum of money.
